Did you know that because of the popularity of Camping in the State Parks, now we have to make a reservation months ahead. Here in New York we have to make a reservation nine months ahead of time for a site on a popular holiday weekend. If you do not then you may not get a site and you will not get a desired site.

Now we have to call Reserve America to make a reservation. You can not call the park to reserve a site anymore.

If you have the disability discount card you have to pay full price for the site and then wait for your money to be sent back to you. Last year after I completed my stay at a state park here in New York I returned the paperwork for my reimbursement on my discount and was sent a check in the mail about 3 months later that was from the bank of Canada. I find that pretty weird but who am I to question our government.

So if you are looking for a site for Memorial Day weekend 2010 and want to make a reservation for a state park you better get going they are filling up. I know of one park in particular that is just about full already.

Good luck and happy Camping. How is this working out in your state? Leave a comment and let me know.
